Animation not stopping

[ornate elk]

Help!

(Starting the animation)

local AnimationTrack = Humanoid:LoadAnimation(ShovelAnim)
                AnimationTrack:Play()```

(Trying to stop it)

local AnimationTrack = Humanoid:LoadAnimation(ShovelAnim)
    AnimationTrack:Stop()```

When I try to stop the animation, I have made it so something fires an event and in that event it stops the Animation, could this be the reason why it wont stop?

easy mistake you are loading it twice

an animation only needs to be loaded once and stopped by just referencing the one u loaded to start

so instead of stopping it and going local animationtrack = humanoid etc

just simply put AnimationTrack:Stop()

[ornate elk]

Ahh makes sense, can’t believe I didn’t think of that 🤦‍♂️

[late musk]

but it is important that the 2 are in the same script

the :play() and

:stop()

[ornate elk]

Yeah

[late musk]

if they aren't its nothing to worry about u can just use a for loop

and stop all the animations playing on the player

[late musk]

good rule of thumb now is to use Humanoid.Animator:LoadAnimation now

humanoid animations are depracated and can be unreliable

[ornate elk]

Is that where you would add the animation inside the script?

[late musk]

yeah instead of

local AnimationTrack = Humanoid:LoadAnimation(ShovelAnim)

u would do

local AnimationTrack = Humanoid.Animator:LoadAnimation(ShovelAnim)

[ornate elk]

Yeah

[late musk]

more recent instance to load animations on

[ornate elk]

Awesome, I'll change that now

[late musk]

u can still use depracated stuff but its best to just use the latest stuff

in case roblox goes like sicko mode and removes it entirely lol

hope that helped

[ornate elk]

Yeah it did, thank you!

i tried this for loop for stopping the animation but it doesnt work

[late musk]

its been moved to humanoid.animator
